Gossypiboma refers to a retained sponge in the surgical bed. We present a 40- year-old female from Terai region of Nepal presented with long standing abdominal discomfort which on further radiological examination complex adnexal mass was suspected. She had a history of emergency laparotomy for post-partum hemorrhage more than a decade ago. She underwent surgery for suspicious complex adnexal mass. On exploring fiber formed partly degenerated content was revealed, which on histopathology reveal foamy macrophages, degenerated material and fiber strands and finally diagnosis of Gossypioma was made. Prevention of gossypiboma is much better than cure.

Systematic Analysis

Introduction-The World Health Organization defines a maternal near-miss case as "a woman who nearly died but survived a complication that occurred during pregnancy, childbirth or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy. Material and Methods- Prospective cross-sectional observational study was carried out over a period of two years. Systematic analysis of all maternal near miss cases was done in relation to causes, contributory factors, and associated socio demographic factors. Results-There were 22,318 deliveries including 87 maternal near miss cases during study period. Severe anemia (28.74%), severe hypertension (22.99%), ante-partum hemorrhage, post partum hemorrhage (18.39%), post-operative sepsis (9.2%), renal failure and hepatic dysfunction were major causes associated with maternal near miss situation. Conclusion- Severe anaemia, obstetric haemorrhage, severe hypertension and its complications, respiratory infection, sepsis, Liver and kidney diseases are mainly responsible for maternal near miss situation.

Abstract Background The rarity of maternal deaths in developed countries has increased interest in reviewing cases of severe maternal morbidity or maternal ‘near miss’. Assessment and determining preventability among near misses is therefore important in improving the provision of maternity care. The aims of this study were to (i) describe the epidemiology of intensive care unit (ICU) admission in Far North Queensland (ii) determine the validity of the WHO near miss criteria in determining cases of severe maternal morbidity and (iii) determining preventability of severe maternal outcomes of pregnant and post-partum patients requiring admission to the ICU. Methods Retrospective observational study included all patients pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy admitted to the Cairns Hospital ICU between 1st January 2013 and 31 December 2017. Cases were reviewed by a team of Obstetricians using the modified Geller model of preventability to determine reasons for admission to ICU and to determine whether the ‘near miss’ was preventable or not.Results Sixty-nine out of 12081 (0.6%) women admitted for Obstetric care were transferred to the ICU with a total of 31 cases fulfilled WHO near miss criteria. The most common primary obstetric related diagnosis for ICU admission were hypertensive disease of pregnancy and obstetric haemorrhage. Indirect obstetric causes contributed to approximately 40% of ICU admissions. Among the 31 cases of WHO near miss, 10 cases were deemed preventable with the most common reason for preventability related to lack of recognition of high-risk clinical status. Conclusion Maternal ‘near miss’ and rates of Obstetric admission to the ICU at Cairns Hospital are reassuringly low. An audit of near miss cases describing preventability is feasible and informs areas for improvement in the management of ‘near miss’ cases.

Abstract Background: Failure of the primary management at controlling the post-partum hemorrhage (PPH) is occasionally encountered. A catastrophic cause of PPH as vagina arterial aneurysms with AVF is rare and not reported in English literature.Case presentations: We present a 34-year-old woman of arterial aneurysms with arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) at bilateral lower vagina causing intractable PPH with aggressive bleeding. By trans-arterial embolization (TAE) the bleeding is successfully controlled, and patient then could recover smoothly.Conclusion: These vascular anomalies being fierce culprit of the PPH would result in primary management failure. Knowledge of the possible etiology of post-partum hemorrhage is crucial for treatment management. This case report aims to point out a pivotal role of TAE at detecting and treating this unusual cause of PPH.

Background: Obstetrics near miss is an important indicator that reflects the quality of obstetrics care in a health facility. It assesses and monitors the activities aimed for prevention of maternal mortality. The aim and objective of this study was to find out the incidence, the prevalence and causes of maternal near miss due to severe obstetric complications and to identify the gapes and contextualize corrective measures to be taken in our facility.Methods: This is a retrospective study done in department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in GMC associated with DHS Shivpuri MP. The study was done during a period from 1st January 2018 to 30 April 2019.Results: In this study the hospital maternal near miss incidence ratio was 14.34%. In our study we found the most common morbidity was (30.18%) hypertensive disorder of pregnancy. These 159 near miss diagnoses were comprised of (30.18 %) cases of Hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, (27.67%) cases of major obstetric hemorrhage, (6.91) Severe systemic infection or sepsis, (4.40%) Labour related disorders. In Medical disorders very Severe Anemia, (1.88%) was most common cause of near miss. The most common cause of death was post-partum hemorrhage 37.5% and most of the patients referred from periphery in very critical condition.  The median time taken to get clinical intervention among cases was 20-40 minutes after admission.Conclusions: Hemorrhage and hypertension disorders are the leading causes of MNM. Prompt diagnosis and adequate management of near miss cases can reduce mortality rates.
